Advice
Grease filter exchange in Fifield
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are grease building up behind the canopy filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
For a kitchen in or near Fifield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Questions from Fifield
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fifield?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Fifield. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Fifield?
Kitchens in Fifield are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that’s an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What else we do in Fifield
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Why deal with it now?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Fifield, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Fifield kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fifield. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Kitchens in Fifield get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fifield sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Braywood CofE First School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Fifield (Dorney Court is about 1.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like King Edward VII Hospital about 3.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
